In 2010 animated movie, Megamind, there's this monologue by Megamind after he has presumably killed Metro Man:

I've made a horrible mistake. I didn't mean to destroy you. I mean, I meant to destroy you, but I didn't think it would really work. What's the point of being bad when there's no good to try and stop you?

Later, he has a conversation with Roxanne in disguise of Bernard:

Megamind: Metro Man's gone. And now there's no one Ieft to challenge Megamind.

Roxanne: Oh, come on, Bernard. As Iong as there's evil, good will rise up against it.

Megamind: Oh, I wish.

Roxanne: I believe someone is going to stand up to Megamind.

Megamind: You really think so?

Roxanne: Yeah. I mean, it's like they say, "Heroes aren't born, they're made".

Megamind: Heroes can be made. That's it!

Here, Megamind concludes he should make a hero using Metro Man's DNA.

Later, Megamind has a conversation with Minion about his plan to make a hero. Also, he complaints his lack of an enemy with Minion (not written here):

Megamind: I'm going to give someone, I don't know who yet, Metro Man's powers. I'm going to train that someone to become Montrocity's new hero. And then, finally I'm going to fight that hero. In an epic battle of good and evil.

Finally we reach the conversation of interest (When Metro Man's DNA accidentally is shot to Hall, Roxanne's friend):

Megamind: Who is this man, we've infused with godlike power?

Minion (using a laptop to obtain information): Well sir, his name's Hal Stewart. He's twenty eight years old. No criminal record. Actually, no records at all. Apparently, this man hasn't accomplished anything.

Megamind: Not yet, Minion. Not...Yet.

Minion; So I will just go ahead and defuse him, since this is clearly a mistake.

My Questions:

• Why did Minion think someone with a bad record should be infused with Metro Man's DNA while Megamind himself had cleared it that someone good should be shot and trained to become a new hero so that Megamind can fight in a battle of good vs evil?
• Why did Megamind replied to Minion with a "not yet" when Minion said Hal Stewart hasn't do crimes in his life yet? Again, didn't Megamind himself tell Minion there should be a good person to fight me (the evil)? Does fighting a bad person make a good person bad? Even if it makes a good person bad, that never was part of Megamind's plan. He just wanted to have a nemesis in order to not be without a point.

In the 2010 animated movie Megamind, after seemingly killing his arch-nemesis Metro Man, Megamind finds himself without a purpose and decides to create a new superhero by infusing someone with Metro Man's DNA. After accidentally shooting and infusing Hal Stewart, the following discussion takes place between Megamind and Minion:

Megamind: Who is this man we've infused with godlike power?

Minion (using a laptop to obtain information): Well, sir, his name's Hal Stewart. He's 28 years old. No criminal record. Actually, no records at all. Apparently, this man hasn't accomplished anything.

Megamind: Not yet, Minion. Not...yet.

Minion: So I will just go ahead and defuse him, since this is clearly a mistake.
